Happiest of Holidays and a Peaceful, Plentiful, and Healthy New Year to all!
Holiday seasons are always festive and fun but can also hold a twinge of sadness for all those who are gone or who are lost. Remember to be kind to folks and to find ways to include people who might otherwise not have a way to feel a part of the holidays.
Remember that these are all festivals of the light. In ancient times, the Solstice was magic; the world got very dark and then slowly, with the festivals lighting up the night, the daylight started to come back. From the ancient rituals came Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and other festivals that give us faith and hope that the New Year will come.
Sending you good wishes and letting you know that you can give a New Year gift to an adoptive family:
Post-Adoption Concierge/Consultant Package
You can also give the gift of a regular consult with Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao by speaking with Emily at eakinnect@gmail.com or 617-547-0909.
We hope that your holidays are bright and that your children are able to enjoy the warmth and care of family in this season. Happy New Year and more coming in 2015.
Sincerely,
PACT (Pre/Post Adoption Consulting and Training)
Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao

Sprinkling of articles that may be of interest. Many are controversial, and some I could argue with at length. I feel it is important, however, to see what is being said about the many aspects of adoption!

"I believe the only true way to guarantee that children are where they are supposed to be is by doing open adoptions both internationally and domestically. Mediation and education should be done, and clear understanding by sending and receiving parents and countries/states so that ALL adoptions are ethical, legal and in the very best interest of each and every child."
